On the territory of Hellas there is an incredible number of beaches. Many of them are quite remarkable. That is why this state regularly enters the TOP-3 countries with the best coasts in the world. So, the beaches of Greece, which deserve special attention.

The island of Crete. Balos Beach

Wonderful Greece, Crete, whose beaches annually fall in love with thousands of tourists… Become one of them - let yourself relax on the coast, washed by the cleanest waters. Balos Bay is truly something supernatural. Here three seas and 12 shades of water merge into one. Sea turtles, the eye-catching island of Gramvousa, and the beauty of the bay itself… the list is endless. No wonder that this place was once chosen by Prince Charles and Princess Diana for their honeymoon. The most convenient way to visit the bay is on ships that depart regularly from the port of Kavonisi Kissamos.

Navagio (Zakynthos)

Of all the Greek islands, Zakynthos is the greenest. Probably every third person in the world has seen this photo, which is often found on Greek postcards, posters and advertisingbooklets. It is quite possible that this is the most beautiful beach in the world. To see such beauty yourself, you need to swim up to it by boat or by car.

Elafonisos (Crete)

Sunny Greece, beach, pink sand, shallow and clear sea - what could be better? This place is 100 meters away from the coastline of Crete. Pinkish sand - the result of the merger of crushed coral and shell fragments. Three seas join here: Ionian, Cretan and Libyan. If you come here and stay for the whole day, you will have the opportunity to contemplate 18 shades of water. Elafonissos is close to Balos, so if you are traveling by car in Crete, this place should be a big dot on your itinerary.

Egremni (Lefkada)

Many beaches in Greece are beautiful, but this one was chosen to participate in the ranking of the best in Europe. Few people know about this place. Egremni is white coarse-grained soft sand and turquoise water. You can go down to the beach by 347 steps, lying on a rock 150 meters high. Due to its remoteness and the relatively difficult descent down the steep stairs, one gets the feeling that nature has allowed Egremni to select vacationers for itself.

Myrtos (Kefalonia)

Not so long ago, after analyzing all the beaches of Greece, the Ministry of Tourism and Culture of Greece recognized Myrtos as the most beautiful of them. This place is located on the west coast of Kefalonia. Beautiful beach, amazinglandscape, turquoise water - all this attracts connoisseurs of beauty from all over the world.

Plaka (Naxos)

It turns out that not all the beaches of Greece have opened to Russian tourists. Such, for example, as Sarakiniko (Peloponnese) and Plaka on the island of Naxoso, are some of the most beloved among the Greeks. The second is three miles long. The coastline is not processed, so here it is quite possible to feel like Robinson Crusoe. Virgin beauty, lots of places for secluded relaxation, excellent bottom and endless sandy strip - what else do you need for a good rest?
